I agree somewhat, but the money that comes in from football is important.

Keeping money flowing in football and football fans invested is a major deal. We just have to get the right people in charge of VT athletics. Look at Iowa State in football and mens hoops. We have more revenue than them, play in a better conference from a regional situation and are in a more favorable recruiting region and yet they are running circles around us in the two sports that matter most.

But arent the non P4 on the hook for same $$ for "back pay" as P4? I
HboroughHokie • 03/27/25 06:29 PM ET
The NCAA is paying the back pay through reduced revenue distributions
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 09:33 PM ET
Isn’t it over ten years?
RJHokie • 03/27/25 09:45 PM ET
Yes it is over a 10 year period. The NCAA is covering $1.1B of the

I personally think this is going to be great.

Villanova does have football, albeit 1AA**
ombandit • 03/28/25 01:26 AM ET
All this keeps me thinking VT ought to drop down in FB and focus elsewhere.
40ozDistrict • 03/27/25 06:10 PM ET
Yeah...uh, NO.**
marcbvtgm • 03/28/25 09:29 AM ET
Not a good idea **
HokiesACC2004 • 03/27/25 11:32 PM ET
Good way to see revenues drop off a cliff. **
GoldCoast • 03/27/25 07:37 PM ET
Well, keep throwing good money after bad.**
40ozDistrict • 03/27/25 08:09 PM ET
Great idea...until there isn't good money to throw.**
marcbvtgm • 03/28/25 09:30 AM ET
It’s not that, fball brings in 75-80% of the ad revenue win or lose

What's the theory of "schools without football are going to clean up"?
nvpbrown • 03/27/25 04:02 PM ET
i bit on this earlier
VermontDDS • 03/27/25 07:33 PM ET
Long discussion down the page...
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 04:05 PM ET
When Buzz Williams goes back to a BB school, I'll buy into this.
marcbvtgm • 03/28/25 09:42 AM ET
Being able to spend twice as much as FBS programs isn't ankle biting
GCHokie34 • 03/28/25 11:06 AM ET
Oooh, one school. But can Gonzago keep pace? Doubtful. It's ankle-biting.
marcbvtgm • 03/29/25 01:40 PM ET
Gonzaga as an athletic department pulls in 2 mil less than VT in profit
GCHokie34 • 03/29/25 05:25 PM ET
Why talks about BigE wanting ACC merger IF they're so advantaged?
VT757to276 • 03/27/25 04:30 PM ET
Track down your own logic...
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 05:00 PM ET
Added...past tense. They added value. There's little value left to add.**
marcbvtgm • 03/28/25 09:32 AM ET
Only reason they are adding schools is controlling future CFP money.
hokieZ71 • 03/27/25 05:19 PM ET
They're adding schools to increase their position even more
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 05:51 PM ET
I’m not sure I’m buying this notion in the long term.
marcbvtgm • 03/27/25 04:09 PM ET
It's pretty straightforward numbers...
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 05:03 PM ET
So VCU $5mil, VT $3mil (15% of the $20mil total)..advantage: VCU right? Or
HokieSA • 03/27/25 05:50 PM ET
$5 mil is for entire rev share
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 05:52 PM ET
Fundamentally I have a problem basically being equal to a mid major then
HokieSA • 03/27/25 06:08 PM ET
I would imagine VT has a larger NIL budget yes
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 06:35 PM ET
Would include schools like Villanova with lower level football that….
vtbball80 • 03/27/25 03:23 PM ET
Yeah pretty much all the Big East is going to take a step forward...
GCHokie34 • 03/27/25 03:30 PM ET
Do you expect a school like VCU to have an advantage over Tech and UVA?**
HokieBrazil • 03/27/25 04:00 PM ET
VCU has said publicly they are allocating $5 million to rev share...
